Around me many are building<br />
Homes of beauty and wealth<br />
But what of a home in heaven<br />
Where will you live after death<br />
<br />
Are you building a home in heaven<br />
To live in when this life is o'er<br />
Will you move to that beautiful city<br />
And live with Christ ever more<br />
<br />
Long is the road that leads you<br />
To that beautiful home up there<br />
Is work on your home completed<br />
Death may be lingering near<br />
<br />
Are you building a home in heaven<br />
To live in when this life is o'er<br />
Will you move to that beautiful city<br />
And live with Christ ever more<br />
<br />
Are you ready for his coming<br />
Have you been true all along<br />
Have you finished your building in glory<br />
Will you move to this heavenly home<br />
<br />
Are you building a home in heaven<br />
To live in when this life is o'er<br />
Will you move to that beautiful city<br />
And live with Christ ever more
